As the summer initiation season continues, the journey to manhood for some in Kariega has allegedly been disrupted by opportunistic and callous thieves, and the community is saying enough is enough.
Criminals have been terrorising children taking food to the initiates in KwaLanga, with a nine-year-old among those allegedly held at gunpoint on the way there in one of the harrowing ordeals.
The issue has drawn the attention of government, religious leaders, police and community members who gathered in Kariega on Monday to visit the KwaLanga and KwaNobuhle camps.
